We Stand by Our Evaluation Findings
The Evaluation Report
Each evaluation comes with a detailed report that provides a thorough understanding of the conditions evaluated. This documentation often serves as a resource in addressing issues before they become negotiating points at the closing table.
Photographic Report
Our team documents each evaluation with photographs of your crawlspace, basement, attic, exterior, and more. The initial set provides a baseline for future visits and establishes the current conditions visually. These photos can be conveniently shared via a link we provide, which can be sent in any format to anyone.
